In this study, the role played by historically important gardens in Iran, as a social service provider and
their significance for sustaining city has been addressed. Certain survey results are presented targeting to
explore the motives and perceptions if visitors of two of the most historically important gardens in Iran.
Certain conclusive remarks are being made here. Firstly, the existence of such gardens in the urban areas
of Iran is a significant factor in the physical and psychological well-being of the city inhabitants. It thus
fulfills many social functions. Thus the garden adds on to the sustainability of cities and is considered as
important municipal resource. Secondly, attributes of the physical environment interacts with different
characteristics of humans such as the socio-demographics and perception of people on environment could
trigger physical activities and this in turn impacts the health status of the people. As such this correlation
between environmental attributes, body weight, physical activity and health can result in environmental
compatibility as well as a sense of attachment or belongingness to a place, which results on lifestyle
quality enhancement. Hence, evaluation of different amenities, social and psychological services of urban
areas has to be integrated into the assessment of the project and be appropriately accounted for in policy
making decisions and strategies associated with urban planning as well as satisfaction of the facility users,
their needs and their participation and representation in every aspect of urban life, which are considered
as crucial aspects in the sustainability of any city. Persian garden does develop over time and is
influenced by other nation social contexts in which an individual operates. Thus, there appears a
logical reason to assume that gardening start with Persian garden. Future research may integrate the
effects of Persian garden and foot print of the Persian garden in the design of other nation.
